You
may/should not convert RPKM to FPKM
. You need to recalculate FPKM from BAM file. As suggested below, if you just divide by 2, they wont be true FPKM values as you do not knowif there are any read-pairs with only one-end mapped.
And if there are many read pairs like that your FPKM value might not be true.Thanks for the explanation
